Getting a drawing to Done

By default a drawing cannot sit in Done until internal review has approved it. That is the studio gate before a sheet goes to a client or vendor. General tasks skip this — they can be Done whenever the work is finished.

The usual path

  1. 1
    Finish the sheet

    Move the task through To-Do and In-Progress. Attach the file from the task panel if you keep versions in Beech.

  2. 2
    Send for review

    From the task panel, or by moving the card to In-Review. Pick one or more reviewers. Confirm with Send for review.

  3. 3
    Wait for Approved

    When every reviewer approves, the drawing can reach Approved and the task can go to Done.

If you do not use formal review

Turn off Require drawing reviews in the project Info tab. Drawings can then be moved to Done directly. Admins and Managers can always move a drawing to Done, even when the gate is on.

A revision request from any reviewer sends the drawing to Revision Needed immediately, even if someone else already approved. The drawing shows an orange Revision needed badge. Choose Resubmit for review to start a new cycle — previous reviewers are pre-filled.
